Just join and buy tickets. I wouldnt try it if you think theyre gonna sell the cheap ones on there though. Didnt happen for McCartney, doubt it will for Elton.

Re: Upcoming Shows

I believe he’s trying to tell Cutter that if he’s interested in the “cheap seats” the fan club allotment for artists of Elton John’s caliber usually does not consist of those types of seats, those are typically reserved for onsales to the general public, however if Cutter would like to score his family some regular to moderately priced seats those will more than likely be included in the fan club allotment, therefore making the $25 fee worth it.

Do either of you actually know that about Elton John's fan club though? Cutter could just as easily make the same assumptions as you. If you haven't actually purchased a ticket through Elton John's fan club, you are not qualified to answer the question.

Re: Upcoming Shows

Sometimes people are just trying to be a little helpful and provide even the slightest insight without having a bachelor's in pre-sale ticketing... I will look into the qualifications for future reference.

You're never qualified to answer any question yet you just looooove spouting your opinions around anyway.

speaking of which... I was wondering recently how one gets an AMEX that qualifies for pre-sales. will any AMEX card qualify you? if it's only certain kinds, then I assume they are not free? the ticketmaster help pages did not reveal much.

please only address this question if you have completed the pre-requisite courses in gouging customers. thank you.

Re: Upcoming Shows

If you are a big concert goer having a Preferred AmEx is totally worth it. They have some of the best seats out there and I've gotten nothing but amazing seats every time there is a preferred member pre-sale.

Ah, my bad for posting at work when I only have enough time to scan a post quickly. You can get a platinum card with no fee for a year right now, though that turns into $450 a year after that (though you can often threaten to cancel and get them to forgo that fee if you are into haggling).
